Comment on Starting Your PR Career: Is NYC The Only Place? by Brian M. S. https://jonboroshok.wordpress.com/2015/12/29/starting-your-pr-career-is-nyc-the-only-place/comment-page-1/#comment-8
Tue, 29 Dec 2015 22:15:47 +0000http://jonboroshok.wordpress.com/?p=102#comment-8Hogwash on having to have “NYC” experience to thrive. Considering two of the three largest PR firms in the world have HQ in US cities outside NYC (and US president of Weber Shandwick is in Minnesota) not just a few, but the vast majority of people working for the biggest agencies in US do so outside NYC (and have never worked in NYC). Depending on specialty, it may be other cities are the best bet. Do agree smaller towns, and even smaller cities, will have more limited options. Increasingly, at least at bigger firms, those hired don’t have communication or PR degrees or backgrounds, but diverse skill sets reflective of the work many are now doing.

I always think of an incredible PR firm run by an equally-incredible PR professional and based in Exeter, NH, which, to this day, I can’t find on any map (just kidding, Exeter-ites!)! Yet anyone who could put having worked for the late Pat Jackson at his firm, Jackson, Jackson & Wagner was incredibly hire-able…and many lucky recipients of Pat’s wisdom and guidance are today consummate public relations professionals. IMHO, it’s not WHERE you gain your experience; it’s HOW you take advantage of that experience. #oneguysopinion
